Description

CROSS-REFERENCE TO RELATED APPLICATIONS
This application is the National Stage of International Application No. PCT/JP2010/053789, filed Mar. 8, 2010, which claims the benefit of Japanese Application Nos. 2009-059850, filed Mar. 12, 2009, and 2009-244060, filed Oct. 23, 2009, the entire contents of all of which are incorporated by reference herein.
FIELD OF THE INVENTION
The present invention relates to a method for producing an optically active 2-hydroxy ester, and a novel intermediate compound. More particularly, the present invention relates to a method for producing an optically active 2-hydroxy ester by carrying out kinetic optical resolution using a racemic 2-hydroxy ester as a substrate, and a novel intermediate compound that can be produced by the method.
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
Optically active 2-hydroxy esters are one of useful organic molecules that can be widely used as medical drugs, pesticides, flavors, food additives, chemical products, optical materials, and the like. Therefore, development of an asymmetric synthesis method for rapidly and conveniently supplying these compounds is a very important study subject.
So far, a method for conveniently producing an optically active 2-hydroxy ester has been hardly reported. With respect to similar techniques, a method for producing an optically active 2-hydroxycarboxylic acid from a racemic 2-hydroxy ester has been reported in Nonpatent Document 1. In this Nonpatent Document 1, a method for producing an optically active 2-hydroxy-2-phenylacetic acid by hydrolyzing an ester moiety of a racemic 2-hydroxy-2-phenylacetic acid methyl ester with an enzyme, and the like are disclosed.
However, the substrate in the production method of Nonpatent Document 1 is limited to one having a phenyl group bonded to position 2; therefore, the method involves a problem of poor generality of the substrate. In addition, this production method does not directly produce an optically active 2-hydroxy ester, and thus lacks convenience for use in producing an optically active 2-hydroxy ester.

  • Nonpatent Document 1: Adv. Synth. Catal., 2001, 343, p. 547-558
SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION Problems to be Solved by the Invention
It would be very advantageous if an optically active 2-hydroxy ester could be obtained by carrying out kinetic optical resolution using a racemic 2-hydroxy ester as a substrate. As only one example in the prior art, Example 10 of Patent Document 1 demonstrates that optically active benzyl 2-hydroxypropanoate is obtained by subjecting one enantiomer of racemic benzyl 2-hydroxypropanoate to selective esterification in a solvent containing benzotetramisole as an asymmetric catalyst, p-methoxybenzoic acid anhydride, and 3-phenylpropionic acid.
However, according to the production method disclosed in Patent Document 1, a reaction velocity ratio s is as low as 12. In an attempt to obtain an optically active 2-hydroxy ester having an enantiomeric excess of 99% in a yield of no less than 40% by kinetic optical resolution using a racemic 2-hydroxy ester as a substrate, a reaction velocity ratio s of no less than 25 is theoretically needed. Thus, a highly efficient production method has been desired which achieves a reaction velocity ratio s of greater than 25.
The present invention was made in view of such conventional problems, and an object of the invention is to provide a method for highly efficiently producing an optically active 2-hydroxy ester by carrying out kinetic optical resolution of a racemic 2-hydroxy ester as a substrate. In addition, another object of the present invention is to provide a novel intermediate compound that can be produced by the method.
Means for Solving the Problems
The present inventors thoroughly investigated in order to solve the foregoing problems. Consequently, it was found that the aforementioned problems could be solved by using a particular carboxylic acid anhydride or carboxylic acid when one enantiomer of a racemic 2-hydroxy ester is selectively esterified in a solvent containing a carboxylic acid anhydride, or a carboxylic acid anhydride and a carboxylic acid. Accordingly, the present invention was completed. More specifically, aspects of the present invention are as in the following.
A first aspect of the present invention provides a method for producing an optically active 2-hydroxy ester, the method including selectively esterifying one enantiomer of a racemic 2-hydroxy ester in a solvent containing a catalyst represented by any one of the following formulae (a) to (d), and a carboxylic acid anhydride, or a carboxylic acid anhydride and a carboxylic acid, the carboxylic acid anhydride being an anhydride of a carboxylic acid having a tertiary carbon atom or a quaternary carbon atom in the α-position, provided that the solvent contains a carboxylic acid anhydride but does not contain a carboxylic acid, whereas the carboxylic acid has a tertiary carbon atom or a quaternary carbon atom in the α-position, provided that the solvent contains a carboxylic acid anhydride and a carboxylic acid,

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION
Method for Producing Optically Active 2-Hydroxy Ester
The method for producing an optically active 2-hydroxy ester according to the present invention includes selectively esterifying one enantiomer of a racemic 2-hydroxy ester in a solvent containing a particular catalyst, and a carboxylic acid anhydride, or a carboxylic acid anhydride and a carboxylic acid. By thus selectively esterifying one enantiomer, an optically active 2-hydroxy ester can be obtained as another enantiomer not esterified.
[Racemic 2-Hydroxy Ester]
The racemic 2-hydroxy ester used in the production method of the present invention is represented by the following formula (f):

In the above formula (f), Rf1 and Rf2 each independently represent a monovalent organic group. The monovalent organic group is not particularly limited, and an arbitrary monovalent organic group may be used. Specific examples include an alkyl group, a cycloalkyl group, an alkenyl group, a cycloalkenyl group, an alkynyl group, an aryl group, a heteroaryl group, an arylalkyl group, and the like.
[Catalyst]
The catalyst used in the production method of the present invention is represented by any one of the following formulae (a) to (d).
Figure US08552215-20131008-C00005
In the above formulae (a) to (d), X represents any one of the following substituents. R is a protecting group such as an alkyl group, an acyl group or a silyl group.
Figure US08552215-20131008-C00006
Of the catalysts represented by the above formulae (a) to (d), the catalysts each represented by the above formulae (a) and (b), wherein X is a phenyl group, are referred to as (+)-tetramisole and (−)-tetramisole, respectively. The catalysts each represented by the above formulae (c) and (d), wherein X is a phenyl group, are referred to as (+)-benzotetramisole, (−)-benzotetramisole, respectively. These catalysts can be either obtained as a commercially available product, or synthesized using an amino acid having the substituent represented by X as a side chain.
[Carboxylic Acid Anhydride]
When the carboxylic acid described later is not used in combination, the carboxylic acid anhydride used in the production method of the present invention serves as an acylating agent. The carboxylic acid anhydride which may be used in this case is an anhydride of a carboxylic acid having a tertiary carbon atom or a quaternary carbon atom in the α-position. Specific examples of the anhydride include those of isobutyric acid, pivalic acid, cyclohexane carboxylic acid, diphenylacetic acid or dinaphthylacetic acid.
On the other hand, when the carboxylic acid described later is used in combination, the carboxylic acid anhydride used in the production method of the present invention serves as a dehydrative condensation agent. Although the carboxylic acid anhydride in this case is not particularly limited, those obtained from benzoic acid, benzoic acid having an electron donating group such as an alkyl group, an alkoxy group, an amino group or an alkoxyalkyl group bonded to a phenyl group, or a polysubstituted carboxylic acid having a tertiary carbon atom or a quaternary carbon atom in the α-position are preferred, and those obtained from benzoic acid, a mono-, di- or tri-substituted benzoic acid to which an alkyl group or an alkoxy group having 1 to 3 carbon atoms is bonded, diphenylacetic acid, pivalic acid, 1-phenyl-1-cyclopentanecarboxylic acid, 2-methyl-2-phenylpropionic acid, or 2,2-diphenyl propionic acid are more preferred.
Among these, when the carboxylic acid described later is not used in combination, diphenylacetic acid anhydride is particularly preferred, whereas pivalic acid anhydride is particularly preferred when the carboxylic acid is used in combination. By using these carboxylic acid anhydrides, the intended optically active 2-hydroxy ester can be obtained at a high yield and with a high reaction velocity ratio s.
[Carboxylic Acid]
The carboxylic acid used in the production method of the present invention has a tertiary carbon atom or a quaternary carbon atom in the α-position. Examples of the carboxylic acid include isobutyric acid, pivalic acid, cyclohexane carboxylic acid, diphenylacetic acid, dinaphthylacetic acid, and the like. Of these, diphenylacetic acid is particularly preferred in light of achievement of a high enantiomeric excess ee and a high reaction velocity ratio s.
[Solvent]
The solvent used in the production method of the present invention is exemplified by: halogenated alkyls such as dichloromethane and chloroform; linear ethers such as diethyl ether, diisopropyl ether, tert-butylmethyl ether and cyclopentylmethyl ether; cyclic ethers such as tetrahydrofuran; aromatic compounds such as toluene, chlorobenzene, trifluoromethylbenzene (benzotrifluoride) and benzene; amides such as N,N-dimethylformamide and N-methylformamide; and the like. Of these, in light of attaining high yields and high reaction velocity ratios s, linear ether type solvents are particularly preferred.
[Reaction Conditions, etc.]
An optically active 2-hydroxy ester is produced by adding into a solvent a racemic 2-hydroxy ester, a catalyst, and a carboxylic acid anhydride, or a carboxylic acid anhydride and a carboxylic acid. Furthermore, in order to neutralize an acid derived from a carboxylic acid anhydride produced as the reaction proceeds, addition of a base into the reaction system is preferred. The base is preferably an organic base not having nucleophilicity (trimethyl amine, triethylamine, diisopropyl ethylamine).
The components may be added in any order into the solvent; however, sequentially adding the base, the catalyst, the racemic 2-hydroxy ester into a solvent containing a carboxylic acid anhydride, or a carboxylic acid anhydride and a carboxylic acid is preferred.
Although the amount of each component to be added is not particularly limited, with respect to 1 equivalent of the racemic 2-hydroxy ester, 0.5 to 1.2 equivalents of the carboxylic acid anhydride, 0.5 to 0.75 equivalents of the carboxylic acid and 1.0 to 2.4 equivalents of the base, and 1 to 10% by mole of the catalyst may be used.
The reaction temperature is preferably −23 to 30° C., and the reaction time is preferably 10 min to 48 hrs.
After the reaction was thus allowed, general method for isolation and purification may be used to isolate an optically active 2-hydroxy ester. Specifically, the target substance is extracted by liquid separation with an organic solvent such as dichloromethane or diethyl ether, and the organic layer is then concentrated, followed by purification on chromatography of the concentrate. Accordingly, the optically active 2-hydroxy ester and a diester can be each isolated separately.
Novel Intermediate Compound
The intermediate compound according to the present invention is represented by the following formula (e):
Figure US08552215-20131008-C00007
In the above formula (e): Re1 represents a monovalent organic group; Re2 represents a hydrogen atom or a protecting group of a hydroxy group; and Re3 represents a protecting group such as a silyl group, a benzyl group, an acyl group or an acetal group. The monovalent organic group in Re1 is not particularly limited, and those illustrated above in connection with Rf1 and the like may be used.

As shown in the above reaction scheme, to dichloromethane (0.2 M) containing 0.6 equivalents of p-methoxybenzoic acid anhydride (PMBA) and 0.5 equivalents of carboxylic acid were added 1.2 equivalents of diisopropyl ethylamine, 5% by mole of (+)-benzotetramisole (BTM), and a solution containing 1 equivalent of racemic benzyl lactate in dichloromethane at room temperature in this order, and this reaction mixture was stirred at room temperature for 12 hrs. Thereafter, the reaction was stopped with a saturated aqueous sodium bicarbonate solution. After the organic layer was fractionated, the aqueous layer was extracted with diethyl ether three to five times. It is to be noted that for Entries 6 and 7, the aqueous layer was extracted with dichloromethane. After the organic layer was mixed, the mixture was dried over anhydrous sodium sulfate. The solution was filtered and thereafter vacuum concentrated. Thus obtained mixture was fractionated on silica gel thin layer chromatography (developing solvent: hexane/ethyl acetate=3/1) to afford a corresponding diester and unreacted optically active benzyl lactate. The results are shown in Table 1.
The enantiomeric excess ee was determined by an HPLC analytical method on a chiral column. Further, the reaction velocity ratio s was calculated based on the formula of: s=[ln(1−C) (ee of 1−product)]/[ln(1−C) (ee of 1+product)], according to a method of Kagan et al, (Top. Stereochem., 1988, 18, p. 249-330).

As is seen from Table 1, when a carboxylic acid having a secondary carbon atom in the α-position like a carboxylic acid in which R1 is Ph(CH2)2 or p-TolCH2 was used, the reaction velocity ratio s was no greater than 20 in either case, which was not satisfactory (Entries 1 and 2). On the other hand, when a more bulky carboxylic acid having a tertiary carbon atom in the α-position was used, the reaction velocity ratio s was as high as no less than 27. Accordingly, optically active benzyl lactate was successfully obtained with high efficiency (Entries 3 to 7). In particular, when diphenylacetic acid was used as the carboxylic acid, all of the yield, the enantiomeric excess ee, and the reaction velocity ratio s were very high (Entry 5).

As is seen from Table 2, Test Example 2 in which diphenylacetic acid was used as the carboxylic acid exhibited a very high reaction velocity ratio s of no less than 62 for any of the carboxylic acid anhydrides of Entries 8 to 14 used. Also, when a bulky carboxylic acid anhydride such as pivalic acid anhydride was used, the amount of the by-product (compound 2c) was small (Entries 10 to 14), and particularly, when pivalic acid anhydride was used, a high yield was attained (Entries 10 and 14). Furthermore, when diethyl ether was used in place of dichloromethane, a prominently high reaction velocity ratio s was attained (Entry 14).

As shown in the above reaction scheme, to diethyl ether (0.2 M) containing 0.5 equivalents of diphenylacetic acid anhydride were added 0.5 equivalents of diisopropyl ethylamine, 5% by mole of (+)-benzotetramisole (BTM), and a solution containing 1 equivalent of racemic 2-hydroxy ester in diethyl ether at room temperature in this order, and this reaction mixture was stirred at room temperature for 12 hrs. Thereafter, the reaction was stopped with a saturated aqueous sodium bicarbonate solution. After the organic layer was fractionated, the aqueous layer was extracted with diethyl ether three to five times. After the organic layer was mixed, the mixture was dried over anhydrous sodium sulfate. The solution was filtered and thereafter vacuum concentrated. Thus obtained mixture was fractionated on silica gel thin layer chromatography (developing solvent: hexane/ethyl acetate=3/1) to afford a corresponding diester and an unreacted optically active 2-hydroxy ester. The results are shown in Table 3.
In addition, in a similar manner to that described above except that diethyl ether containing 0.6 equivalents of pivalic acid anhydride and 0.5 equivalents of diphenylacetic acid was used in place of the diethyl ether containing 0.5 equivalents of diphenylacetic acid anhydride, a diester and an unreacted optically active 2-hydroxy ester were obtained. The results thus obtained are shown in Table 3 presented in parentheses.

As is seen from Table 3, all cases of Entries 15 to 26 exhibited prominently high enantiomeric excess ee and reaction velocity ratio s for any of the 2-hydroxy esters used. In addition, achieving a high enantiomeric excess ee and a high reaction velocity ratio s was enabled also in the case in which a silyl group was bonded to the end of R3 (Entries 23 to 26).
The production method and the physical properties of the optically active hydroxy esters and the diesters presented in Table 3 are shown below.
(Entry 17)
To diethyl ether (0.5 mL) containing diphenylacetic acid anhydride (45.2 mg, 0.111 mmol) were added diisopropyl ethylamine (19.4 μL, 0.111 mmol), (+)-benzotetramisole (2.8 mg, 0.0111 mmol), and a diethyl ether solution (0.6 mL) containing racemic benzyl 2-hydroxypentanoate (46.3 mg, 0.221 mmol) at room temperature in this order, and this reaction mixture was stirred at room temperature for 12 hrs. Thereafter, the reaction was stopped with a saturated aqueous sodium bicarbonate solution. After the organic layer was fractionated, the aqueous layer was extracted with diethyl ether five times. After the organic layer was mixed, the mixture was dried over anhydrous sodium sulfate. The solution was filtered and thereafter vacuum concentrated. Thus obtained mixture was fractionated on silica gel thin layer chromatography (developing solvent: hexane/ethyl acetate=3/1) to afford a corresponding diester (40.3 mg, 45%, 97% ee) and unreacted optically active benzyl 2-hydroxypentanoate (25.4 mg, 55%, 84% ee) as a colorless oily liquid (s=149).

Test Example 4 Production of Optically Active 2-Hydroxy Ester Using Various Types of Racemic 2-Hydroxy Ester (2)
Figure US08552215-20131008-C00011
As shown in the above reaction scheme, to a solution containing 0.50 equivalents of diphenylacetic acid and 0.60 equivalents of 1-phenyl-1-cyclopentanecarboxylic acid anhydride in dichloromethane were sequentially added 1.2 equivalents of diisopropyl ethylamine, 5% by mole of (+)-benzotetramisole ((+)-BTM), and the racemic 2-hydroxy ester at room temperature. This reaction mixture was then allowed to react at room temperature for 12 hrs, whereby a corresponding optically active ester and an unreacted 2-hydroxy ester were obtained. The results are shown in Table 4.

[a] Isolation yield
As is seen from Table 4, also when 1-phenyl-1-cyclopentanecarboxylic acid anhydride and diphenylacetic acid were used in combination in place of diphenylacetic acid anhydride, prominently high enantiomeric excess ee and reaction velocity ratio s were attained (Entries 27 and 28).
The production method and the physical properties of the optically active hydroxy esters and the diesters presented in Table 4 are shown below.
(Entry 27)
To a solution containing 1-phenyl-1-cyclopentanecarboxylic acid anhydride (48.3 mg, 0.133 mmol) and diphenylacetic acid (23.6 mg, 0.111 mmol) in dichloromethane was added diisopropyl ethylamine (46.4 μL, 0.266 mmol) at room temperature. After this reaction mixture was stirred for 10 min, (+)-benzotetramisole (2.8 mg, 0.0111 mmol) and racemic benzyl lactate (35.7 μL, 0.222 mmol) were added thereto at room temperature. After this reaction mixture was stirred at room temperature for 12 hrs, saturated sodium bicarbonate water was added at room temperature to stop the reaction. After the organic layer was fractionated, the aqueous layer was extracted with diethyl ether five times. After the organic layer was mixed, the mixture was dried over anhydrous sodium sulfate. The solution was filtered and thereafter vacuum concentrated. Thus obtained mixture was fractionated on silica gel thin layer chromatography (developing solvent: hexane/ethyl acetate=3/1), and a highly polar fraction was fractionated again on silica gel thin layer chromatography (developing solvent: benzene/ethyl acetate=9/1) to afford a corresponding diester (23.0 mg, 58%, 50% ee) and unreacted optically active benzyl lactate. Moreover, the poorly polar fraction was also fractionated on silica gel thin layer chromatography (developing solvent: hexane/diethyl ether=5/1) to afford a corresponding diester (7.6 mg, 33%, 97% ee) and unreacted optically active benzyl lactate.

Figure US08552215-20131008-C00012
As shown in the above reaction scheme, to diethyl ether (0.2 M) containing 0.6 equivalents of pivalic acid anhydride and 0.5 equivalents of diphenylacetic acid were added 1.2 equivalents of diisopropyl ethylamine, 5% by mole of (+)-benzotetramisole (BTM), and a solution containing 1 equivalent of a racemic 2-hydroxy ester in diethyl ether at room temperature in this order, and this reaction mixture was stirred at room temperature for 12 hrs. Thereafter, the reaction was stopped with a saturated aqueous sodium bicarbonate solution. After the organic layer was fractionated, the aqueous layer was extracted with diethyl ether three to five times. After the organic layers were admixed, the mixture was dried over anhydrous sodium sulfate. The solution was filtered and thereafter vacuum concentrated. Thus obtained mixture was fractionated on silica gel thin layer chromatography (developing solvent: hexane/ethyl acetate=3/1) to afford a corresponding diester and unreacted optically active 2-hydroxy ester. The results are shown in Table 5.
